Our missals portray Moses with horns

  • Thats right.  Among the art found in our traditional missals, you will find Moses depicted with horns.  

    In the 1945 St. Andrews missal on pages 322(second sunday in lent) and 1368(transfiguration of our Lord) you will find Moses depicted with devil horns.

    In the 1962 sspx missal on page 1339(the transfiguration), you will see the cloud that moses is in  turn into horns that attach to his forehead.  

    The fr. Lasance missal does not have many pictures, but the pictures that are in there are none the less creepy in my opinion(Christ as lamb looks diabolical on two or more occasions), and it is filled with pagan/satanic hand signs just like the rest of our missals.

    Look at the hands on the people in your missals(1945 - 1962).  These are not normal hands.

    You will see hands with the little finger separated from/while the rest remain together(not normal), you will see the index separated from/while the rest remain together(not normal), you will see the little finger and index fingers separated from the middle and ring finger while they are together(masonic M/not normal), you will find the little finger and index extended out while the middle and ring are together in a semi clinching(not normal), you will find hands grasped together in odd/satanic ways(little and index out - not normal), you will see hands together so closely that they turn the entire hand into a sword or knife shape(not normal).  

    These hand signs are found on our Lord, our Lady, and all the others.

  • Quote from: Exodus 34: 29 & 30
    And when Moses came down from the mount Sinai, he held the two tables of the testimony, and he knew not that his face was horned from the conversation of the Lord. [30] And Aaron and the children of Israel seeing the face of Moses horned, were afraid to come near.


    "Be kind; do not seek the malicious satisfaction of having discovered an additional enemy to the Church... And, above all, be scrupulously truthful. To all, friends and foes alike, give that serious attention which does not misrepresent any opinion, does not distort any statement, does not mutilate any quotation. We need not fear to serve the cause of Christ less efficiently by putting on His spirit". (Vermeersch, 1913).

  • Mythrandylan -  :sign-surrender:  False alarm everyone.  I would say that that clears that up.  Thanks!

    Now, what about the hands?

  • The horns represent light. When Moses came down from the mountain after conversing with God his face was so brilliant that the people couldn't look at him. Moses had to wear a veil. The horns represent this light that emitted from his face,

    The image of the horned Moses can also be understood as a prefiguration of the episcopacy.  The traditional Rite of Episcopal Consecration, in the investiture of the miter which follows the consecration reads:

    Imponimus, Domine, capiti hujus Antistitis et agonistae tui galeam munitionis et salutis, quatenus decorata facie, et armato capite, cornibus utriusque Testamenti terribilis appareat adversariis veritatis...

    In English, this reads:

    We place, O Lord, the helmet of your fortification and salvation, upon the head of this Bishop, your combatant, with beauty adorned, and head armored, so that with the horns of each Testament he might appear terrible to the adversaries of truth...

    Unsurprisingly, the Montinian rite omits the prayer in its entirety, the miter being invested in silence.
